PS Seminar Series: Proteostasis and Evolution »
Our group is broadly interested in understanding how metazoan cells fold complex proteins, and how the need to fold those proteins impacts their ability to evolve.
BSB PhD Exit Seminar: Understanding the mechanism of multi-drug resistance in pathogenic Candida yeast »
This presentation highlights high-resolution cryo-EM structures of C. albicans Cdr1 in various substrate-bound states, with and without nucleotides, resolved at 3.45–3.74 Å.
PS PhD Exit Seminar: A new SynBio approach to improving crop CO2 fixation »
Rubisco is the most abundant protein on earth, catalysing photosynthetic CO2 fixation to provide all usable carbon in the biosphere. However, its slow and non-specific catalytic activity limits crop productivity and its resultant over-production represents a huge nitrogen cost.
BSB PhD Exit Seminar: Computational studies of resistance mechanisms in Malaria »
Making key insights into antimalarial resistance mechanisms and delineate the utility of cutting-edge computational approaches that will go on to inform future drug design strategies and efforts.
E&E PhD Exit Seminar: Genomic epidemiology of oat crown rust disease in Australia and abroad uncovers diverse mechanisms to generate diversity...
Rust fungi are a diverse group of plant pathogens consisting of over 8,000 species in the Basidiomycete order Pucciniales. They parasitise numerous plants of agricultural and ecological importance, such as cereals, legumes, and trees.
PS PhD Exit Seminar: Genome biology of rust fungi »
The rust fungi (Pucciniales) comprise the largest order of plant pathogenic fungi and are among the most serious threats to both agricultural crops and natural ecosystems.
BSB Seminar Series: The Antimalarial Peroxide Artemisinin and Derivatives: Mechanism of Action - The "Heme Activation" Hypothesis vs....
Over 50 years ago, the active principle 青蒿素 qīng hāo sū or artemisinin was isolated in pure crystal-line form from the leaves of the Chinese traditional herb 青蒿 qīng hāo - Artemisia annua - by Chinese groups working under the remarkable Project 523 during the latter stages of the Chinese Cultural Revolution.
Joint PS AFII seminar - Building university-industry partnership towards real-world applications: examples from ANU Division of Plant Sciences ...
The Australian agrifood sector faces complex and multifaceted challenges to its continued growth and evolution, including a changing climate and geopolitical instability.
BSB Seminar Series: Uncovering therapeutic vulnerabilities in gastric cancer »
Dr Buchert will present two vignettes highlighting his group’s research in gastric cancer.
PS Seminar Series: Photosynthesis at extremes »
This seminar will explore photosynthetic strategies across diverse extreme environments, presenting case studies on cyanobacteria inhabiting marine oxygen deficient zones, algae growing within sea-ice and snow, and chemoautotrophic bacteria encased within ancient anoxic marine brines.
